Although the design may not be as impressive as other contenders' projects, it successfully passes all load cases while achieving a significant weight reduction of 65% compared to the original part. The weight has been reduced from 2.038 kg to 0.715 kg. Key performance metrics include: Load Case 1 with von Mises stress maxing out at 550 MPa (79.7 ksi) and maximum displacement under sum stress (usum) of 0.33 mm; Load Case 2 with a von Mises stress of 588 MPa (85.3 ksi) and usum max of 0.7 mm; Load Case 3 with von Mises stress at 778 MPa (112.8 ksi) and SF of 1.16; and Load Case 4 with a von Mises stress of 476 MPa (69.03 ksi) and a safety factor (SF) of 1.89. This model will serve as the foundation for future lightweighting efforts.
